I am making a series of 4 pinups regarding two of my main characters and two new characters I had for a long time but whom I had never drawn before (But have been referenced sometimes) who are important to the lore I am going to be making.

This second one is a Tiger "Blake", his appearance and part of his personality are based on what I thought would be a furry version of Johnny Cage mixed with a little bit of Dolph Lundgren but slim and way thinner than either of them (Might make him larger in the future, although the sketch of him being more big didn't fit what I had in mind), his outfit is very mundane and trying to emphasize the "Bad boy" attitude with the fingerless gloves and the black jacket.

His boots can deploy a pair of skates which he can use to propel himself on any solid surface, walls, and if he is going fast enough, even on ceilings; he can leap off walls and travel at abnormal speeds, although he can also fully control his speed when riding a wall, going as slow as he wants and as fast as his body would allow him to go, worth noting he can also ride walls backwards.

Lore wise, he is actually a human, one of the last human beings from an age long past, Blake used to be a Portuguese professional speed skater and Capoeira instructor that lived during the last years of mankind, he was one of the few lucky people to be able to inject himself with the “Hybrid virus”, which allowed him to change his DNA in a way that would allow him to change back and forward from his human self, into an anthropomorphic tiger, making him one of the first “Hybrids”, which were anthropomorphic creatures result of a mixture between humans and animals.

While Humans went extinct long time ago, Blake and many other first generation Hybrids were sent to underground bunkers where they would be cryogenically frozen until the radiation found on the surface ceased to be dangerous to them, meaning that they stood there for thousands of years, unfortunately, the specific bunker where he was resting had a malfunction that prevented them to awaken at the set date, all of the bunker’s inhabitants remained frozen indefinitely, until many years later when current day Hybrids came across the bunker and introduced these first generation Hybrids to their new world.

He can be forced back and forth between his two forms if he is electrocuted, the transformation takes around five seconds to be fully completed and once he switches back to either form, he needs to stay like that for at least ten minutes before he is able to change again, regardless if he was forced to transform or did so voluntarily.

On a side note, only the first generation of Hybrids (Humans injected with the Hybrid virus) were able to switch back to a human form, any other kind of Hybrid, even if they are the offspring of two humans injected with the virus will not be able to have a human form.
